What does the Bible teach about eternal life?

Answered in 2 sources

Eternal life is a gift from God through faith in Christ, as noted in Romans 6:23, which states, 'The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.'

The Bible teaches that eternal life is fundamentally a gift from God, offered through faith in Jesus Christ. Romans 6:23 clearly distinguishes between the wages of sin, which is death, and the gift of God, which is eternal life through His Son, Jesus Christ. This eternal life is characterized not merely by an endless existence but as a quality of life that is intimately connected to knowing and having a relationship with God, as Jesus Himself described in John 17:3. It's important to recognize that eternal life is rooted in God’s sovereign grace, as articulated in John 5:24, where Jesus proclaims that those who hear His word and believe have already passed from death to life. Thus, eternal life is not dependent on our works, but on Christ alone, reminding believers of their secure position in Him.
